The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to begin an investigation into bribery allegations against Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje. This comes after several videos online purport to show the governor taking bribes on different occasions. Yesterday, a Kano High Court restrained the state House of Assembly from further investigating the matter pending the determination of the originating summons. It adjourned hearing till November 21, 2018. The umbrella organisation of all registered political parties said: “the burden of proof that the President Muhammadu Buhari government is covering corrupt members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is heavier now with the Federal Government’s continued silence over the allegations against the governor.” In a statement by CNPP Secretary General Willy Ezugwu, the organisation said: “we are left to believe that the FederalGovernment under President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC under Mr. Ibrahim Magu only fight corruption in states with opposition leadership. Not a few Nigerians have argued that the APC is a hiding place for corrupt politicians and a cover for looters who want respite from the anti-graft agencies under the current Federal Government".The post #GandujeGate: Group issues14-day ultimatum to EFCC to begin probe of Kano State Governor appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
